[Value of digital angiography via a vein in the diagnosis of an atheromatous aneurysm of the subrenal aorta ruptured into the inferior vena cava]. / Intérêt de l'angiographie numérique par voie veineuse dans le diagnostic d'anévrysme athéromateux de l'aorte sous-rénale rompu dans la veine cave inférieure.

ABSTRACT

Fistulisation of an atheromatous aneurysm of the aorta into the inferior vena cava is a rare type of rupture. Emergency surgery is required following its diagnosis. A case of this type is reported where a diagnosis was obtained without delaying surgery using a new radiological technique numerical angiography via a venous approach. By virtue of its simplicity, reliability and safety, this technique is of great value in the emergency investigation of rupture of an atheromatous aneurysm of the aorta.
